Can someone explain to me why after upgrading to compose stable this code would fire the sideeffect twice after launching the app

``` SideEffect {
        viewModel.getPlatforms()
    }```
In other words viewModel.getPlatforms fires twice where as it didn’t use to be the case before. Perhaps I was misusing the api before

SideEffect is triggered every time recomposition of your composable happens. If you want to run some code only once during lifetime of your composable use LaunchedEffect instead.

Ahh I thought as much. I never ran into the problem before so assumed I was using it correctly. Thanks for letting me know

or `DisposableEffect` if you don’t need a coroutine
